We humans need to eat in order to survive.
Meat, poultry, vegetables, fruits are some main examples that we need in our daily balanced diet. We consume food and eat happily without thinking about how the food is actually being harvested. I am keener to share about eating shark fin and shark meat as the information just come up to my knowledge.
Shark fin demand has tremendously soared over the past 15 years. Personally, I have eaten shark fin soup before and it was good. However, after I've been told of how the fin was removed from the shark, I felt terrible. Worse, I decided to watch the video on how it has been done, right after my first sip of the soup.
In open air, there I was crying for the first time watching a video that shows the cruelty of humanity. Watching the shark suffered really put me in terror. It's like slaying a human both arms and legs and while its bleeding and completely in pain and helpless, throw back the human in the sea. Letting the person to slowly died bleeding, in extreme pain, suffocated and helpless.
The reason being is the shark will urinate in its own flesh upon death and if the shark meat is not properly cleaned, it will build up a high amount of uric acid in the skin and this may cause the meat to smell like ammonia.
This may lead to skin or other health problems if the shark meat is still consumed by the consumers. Moreover, shark meat is potentially dangerous to consume as the meat contains a high level of metal mercury which can cause blindness, loss of coordination and even death (FDA, 1996).
Stop saying that good for the sharks because those beasts kill humans, sharks are top predators and don't deserve to live, "who cares, there are still lots of sharks in the ocean".. People like these will only figure out how it feels if it happens to their species, their own family, friends, loved ones or themselves.
